Indore: The students appearing for class X, XII examinations conducted by Central Board of Secondary Education were shocked when board issued admit cards to private candidates recently. This sent a feeler that examinations will begin early as the candidates normally expect exams in March.
“Most students are still preparing and giving pre-board examinations. Sudden news of admit cards is a clear reminder to gear up for final board examinations,” educator Sudha Pandey said. She added that students must rush through syllabus and begin last month preparations.
“I was not expecting exams to begin for another month, but it seems that exams will start really soon,” student Gunjan Laddha remarked. She said pre-boards give them a preview of finals with a break to improve and study in between. “There is no time to prepare in between, so we must gear up now and study for finals,” student Himanshu Jain said.
Private candidates attempting the examination expressed similar views. “We were expecting to receive admit cards in February last week or second week. But this time, getting admit cards in January surprised us,” student Divyanshi Thakur said.
